Question Directed to the: Minister for Agriculture and Food representing the Minister for Forestry
Parliament: 39 Session: 1


Question

I refer to regulation 148(c) of the Forest Management Regulations 1993, made under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984, which specifies that 'Upon application and payment of the fee, if any...the CEO shall provide any person with...a copy of any...contract', where contract includes contract of sale, and to the November 2013 Opinion of the Auditor General that a decision by the Minister for Forestry not to provide copies of three contracts of sale to Parliament was not reasonable and was therefore not appropriate, and I ask:
(a) will the Minister please table the contracts of sale between the Forest Products Commission and:
(i) Auswest Timbers Pty Ltd;
(ii) Hexan Holdings Pty Ltd, trading as Whiteland Milling;
(iii) Nannup Timber Processing Pty Ltd;
(iv) Middlesex Mill Pty Ltd;
(v) Simcoa Operations Pty Ltd; and
(vi) WA Chip and Pulp Co Pty Ltd; and
(b) if no to any part of (a), why not?
